Not just with websites, but with computer programs in general, technicians who may never actually use such a program design something that's very clever and flashy but often with a learning curve like Everest and not user friendly at all. Independent music websites tend toward either this or the opposite extreme where too little technical know-how in the initial design has led to a disappointing lack of functionality. Music is not the focus at e-junkie, and this may be what saves the site from these sorts of problems. This is a site designed to sell something, anything. That something can be digital or it can be hard-copy. Sure, it can be a music CD, but it can also be just about anything else you can imagine. This is, first and foremost, a commerce website.
Because a website has some depth and complexity, I decided to take my time in evaluating e-junkie. I just wanted to take some time to explore all facets, and I really didn't expect much to change over time. In fact, every time I visit the site, I find something new and useful has been added. The site had and has an easy sign-up procedure, including a free one-week trial period for those who may want to check out the features first. In the beginning, though, I found that many of the instructions were unclear and the learning curve far too complex for anyone not experienced on the web. Over a couple of months, that all changed dramatically.
Besides continually adding practical, easy-to-use features to its own site, e-junkie has been busy forging alliances with related online services that complement its own. The result is an extremely flexible, easy to learn and use, universal marketing and commerce environment for the independent online marketer of just about any product or service. As an independent artist with music products to sell, I can see where this could be an extremely valuable service.
In fact, there are so many available services and tools on this website that I won't even attempt to describe them here. However, I do recommend that any serious independent marketer should visit e-junkie and see what's available. Some available features include no setup fee, unlimited transactions with no transaction fee, no bandwidth limit, product storage and delivery, inventory management, four different methods for your customers to pay, a variety of free shopping cart options, including use of your own cart, automated delivery of download sales, tax and shipping calculator, and much more.
